GRACEFUL17 seeks to build a transnational research team between the École Nationale des Chartes; the Goethe University Frankfurt; the École française and the Deutsches Historisches Institut in Rome, and the University of Reims to investigate a transnational theme: the largely overlooked governance system of papal regimes of grace that paradoxically thrived when they should have gone extinct. Scholarship emphasizes that the early modern period belonged to absolutist states and princes, not to the antiquated administrations of the papacy dispensing graces to petitioners between the Atlantic, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific. This entails that our goals encompass more than a merely empirical correction: they also require a hermeneutical shift to get a better understanding of authority and authoritative acts that remained under the historian’s radar. In sharp contrast with mainstream understandings of power, grace was operationalized as an infinite resource that, in Catholic Christendom, governed souls as much as subjects on a spectrum ranging from sacramental absolution to the routine clearing of transactions of church property. Considering the reactive style of governance in early modern European polities, we wish to undertake a Copernican turn in the history of global agencies such as early modern Catholicisms and the papacy. Our findings should not lead us back to top-down accounts of centralization but instead support the bottom up analysis of regimes of grace that flowed from diverse glocal peripheries to a polymorphic center. Global governance was underpinned by local dynamics.In order to navigate uncharted oceans of documents of the Dataria as the competent Roman authority, and to manage the resulting mass of data, our research program seeks, firstly, to intertwine a team research component that furnishes representative statistical data on the broad dimensions of papal regimes of grace in the 17th Century; and a monographic component of case-studies investigating the local dynamics behind the hermetic figures emerging from papal registers. Secondly, it aims to balance this in-depth research axis into one specific type of grace–papal provision “on the ground” to lower church offices at the expense of local recruitment channels–with a transversal axis in the Companion to Grace Component that considers the full range of papal graces and institutions dispensing them in the early modern period. Thirdly, it commits to using the thus accumulated data sets as a pilot for the development of digital data management and research tools in the Digital Humanities Component that extend the life span and the accessibility of our data beyond this project. Focusing, fourthly, on the training of early career researchers for whom this grant proposal has been designed, GRACEFUL17 seeks to put grace as an organizational principle of human collectivities on the research agenda again of the humanities as well as anthropological, social and political sciences.

GRACEFUL17 寻求在法国国立高等院校之间建立一个跨国研究团队；法兰克福歌德大学；法兰西学院、罗马的德意志历史研究所以及兰斯大学研究了一个跨国主题：教皇恩典政权的治理体系在很大程度上被忽视了，但在它们本应灭绝的时候却反而蓬勃发展。学术界强调，近代早期属于专制国家和君主，而不属于过时的教皇政府，向大西洋、欧洲和印度-太平洋之间的请愿者施恩。这意味着我们的目标不仅仅包括经验修正：它们还需要解释学上的转变，以更好地理解仍在历史学家关注之下的权威和权威行为。与主流对权力的理解形成鲜明对比的是，在天主教基督教世界中，恩典被视为一种无限的资源，它在从圣礼赦免到教会财产交易的例行清算等一系列范围内统治着灵魂和臣民。考虑到早期现代欧洲政体的反应性治理风格，我们希望在早期现代天主教和罗马教皇等全球机构的历史上进行哥白尼式的转变。我们的研究结果不应该让我们回到自上而下的集权解释，而是支持对从不同的全球边缘地区流向多态中心的恩典制度进行自下而上的分析。全球治理以地方动态为基础。为了在达塔里亚作为罗马主管当局的未知文献海洋中航行，并管理由此产生的大量数据，我们的研究计划首先寻求将一个团队研究部分交织在一起，提供有关 17 世纪教皇恩典政权的广泛方面的代表性统计数据；案例研究的专题部分调查了教皇记录中出现的神秘人物背后的当地动态。其次，它的目的是平衡这种深入研究的轴心到一种特定类型的恩典——教皇在当地以牺牲当地招募渠道为代价提供较低的教会职位——与恩典同伴部分的横向轴，考虑到近代早期教皇恩典的全部范围和分配它们的机构。第三，它致力于使用由此积累的数据集作为数字人文组件中数字数据管理和研究工具开发的试点，以延长本项目之外的数据的生命周期和可访问性。第四，GRACEFUL17 的重点是培训早期职业研究人员（本拨款提案是为他们设计的），旨在将恩典作为人类集体的组织原则再次纳入人文学科以及人类学、社会和政治科学的研究议程。
